As one of the eight books that Friesenpress Staff picks for the month of October 2023, I am grateful and, at the same time, surprised. I was in the Philippines when I received an email from my publisher, Friesenpress, congratulating me that my book, Revenge Mistaken, had been selected as a staff pick by a member of their publishing team. My book will be included as a featured title in the Bookstore’s Staff Picks section. And it also features a permanent badge to notify our customers of my staff pick status.
To me, this is major news. As I stated in my previous post, my initial objective when I started writing was to tell my story to my loved ones. However, life is amazing, and it led me to where I am today. I always remind myself that I have to start somewhere, even when sales aren’t going well. We can never predict what the future holds, and I might not be a known writer today. But in order to fulfill my objective of having my second book out next year, I will keep writing. To you, my audience, we can put in the effort and never give up on our self-belief, since nothing is impossible.
